DECLARED OFF.
Grand Rush Of the strikers to get Back
to heir Old Places.
New YORK, Feb. IL.

New YORK, Feb. u.
Following the declaration OF District As-
sembly 40, X. of L., that the strike was off,
there was general rush of loGgshoremen
and freight handlers along the whole river
front to get back TO work. AT some of the
piers along the East River the strikers had
not even waited for the order from head
quarters but had crept back to work on the
best terms they could make.
As early as six o'clock this morning gangs
Of strikers were seen around the piers Sail
ing TO catch the foreman and superintendent
as they came to their respective piers. In
other cases the strikers slipped onto the docks
among the non union men or over the bulk
heads or through the side entrances
At the Maine Steamship Company's pier
Agent Hall said he had all his old hands back
and 20 outsiders were there also whom he
could not find employment for.
NEW YORK, Feb. l3.
Delegations from all The 'longshore
unions of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey
CITY had a convention this afternoon. They
were in session tour hours aud decided not to
return to work save at 40 cents an hour for
day work and 60 cents an hour for over time.
Oae ship owner present and agreed 10
set l25 men at work at once at 40 and 60
cents pending a permanent afju.tment Of
prices but with the uud. rstandng that it
the general scale became 50 and 45 cents hi.
work should be then done by the men at the
same rate. The proposition was accepted.
Tnere is a strong undertOw of feeling drvtl-
oped against those who led the men into the
late strike.
JERSEY CRY, n. j., Feb. l3.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co has de-
cided, in anticipation of the return of the
striking freight handlers, to retain the best
of the non-union men and have chosen 80,
who have been put on the regular pay roll
Two of the men, it is said, are graduates of
a we'll known college. Bernard Gallagher,
special officer at the Red Star DICKS, was TO-
dsy assaulted by strikers. One OF the men
struck him on the head with brick and it is
feared his skull is fractured.

The Old South.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
In these days when the new South" is doing
a good deal of talking. it is refreshing to hear
blast occasionally from the ''old South" An
example of this is found in the following extract
from the Richmond Wing:
s.For the prosperity, the civilization of the
South the color line must be kept up.
1t will be sad day for the civilization and pros
perity of the South when its people consent to
abolish the color line and divide on economic
issues"
In this screed we get glimpse, so to speak, Of
the garish and picturesque atmosphere which
enveloped the political field in the Southern
States in 1856 and 1860. To the writer of that
extract the "nigeer" Is still bondman cotton
is king, and any employment except superin-
tending the working of ''darkies" in the cotton,
rice. tobacco or sugar cane fields is vulgar and
beneath the dignity OF Southern gentleman
The maunderiugs Of such individual would
evoke from sensible people nothing but a smile
of contempt. were it not for the fact that such
relics of the Devonian epoch in Southern poll
tics are numerous and influential enough to
dominate politics to-day in many portions of the
Southern States.

In speaking of the pay OF Kaiakaua. Captain
Pierce says that with his salary and the income
from the crown lands and some other revenues
his income is larger than that Of the President
OF the United States. Kapiolani is also allowed
SIG. 900 year from the public treasury. and

many Of these things TO the evil influence of

The American residents of the Hawaiian
Islands favor annexation to the United States.
They believe this would be advantageous to this
country. "Whoever has the Sandwich Islands,"
said Captain Pierce .'can command the North
Pacific Ocean. There is no port to compete with
them as a naval station. With foreign war
and the Sandwich Islands in the hands OF another
